OPI X Factor Nails (Cher & Rebecca) - From 20th November 2010 Show!


If you’ve been following OPI on Twitter then you may know that they are the official manicurists on the X Factor, and if you don’t follow them well then now you know!

I’ve been receiving emails with details of the X Factor girls’ nails for the last few weeks and I’ve now received a few of the colours so that I can swatch and show you!

The first swatch I am showing you is Cher’s nail from last week’s X Factor (that is the 20th November) where she wore 3, yes THREE OPI colours in one go!

Now there was some confusion over her nails after the show, with some people being led to believe that they were leopard print nails, done with a nail art pen – and whilst I can see why they’d think that was the case (as from a distance you could be forgiven for thinking it), I can actually say 100% that the nail was created using OPI Glitzerland (Swiss Collection, which I’ll swatch very soon), Bring On The Bling (Burlesque Collection – swatched here!) and the new Black Shatter (Katy Perry Collection, due out in January 2011).

With flash:


I’ve done this nail using 3 coats of Glitzerland as a base as it applies quite sheer, 2 coats of Bring On The Bling and 1 coat of Black Shatter over the top – so quite easy to remember really.

Without flash (with the use of a day lamp though):


I’ve also done a few photo’s of Rebeccas nails, done in OPI ‘Royal Rajah Ruby’ although they’re not really done justice by the photo’s so I’ll try and put some more up shortly (in better light) but I’ve tried to show how the light catches the tiny shimmery flecks that this polish has. It was a dream to apply and this is showing just 2 coats of it – fab!

Swatches: OPI & Katy Perry 'Sparkle and Shatter' Collection - Pic Heavy!

I’m so lucky, today I received a package containing 3 of the OPI and Katy Perry nail polishes (yes, post on a Sunday – definitely getting near Christmas now)!

The colours I have are: Teenage Dream, Last Friday Night and Black Shatter; and I have spent all day taking pictures, trying to get the best lighting and generally failing.





I’ve even swatched on my fingers this time, since I’ve already shown you swatches on false nails previously (my fingers look weird on every picture I took (which is why I usually use the nail wheel), I don’t know why this happens so please excuse them). I also haven’t cleaned up my cuticles where I’ve accidently brushed the polish on – this is because I wanted to get them up asap for you!

As ever, I’ve tried to get different angles and lighting to show the polish to you in the best way that I can, so this is picture heavy.

Enjoy.

Last Friday Night:

Teenage Dream:

 With Black Shatter (over 3 coats of the glitter, no topcoat):





I've taken the pictures below as I was hoping to show you the consistancy of the polish, it's very thick and quite gel-like but it applies well and dries reasonably quickly too.

Another OPI Katy Perry Collection Picture!

I have already posted about this collection here but I just have to show you this picture (in case you haven't seen it already), it was posted by OPI on Twitter earlier today!


What are your thoughts on this collection so far?

OPI & Katy Perry 'Sparkle and Shatter' Collection.

I'm sure that we all know by now that Katy Perry and Russell Brand were married at weekend, but do all of you know that she has also teamed up with OPI to create what looks to be a stunning nail collection, due for release in January 2011?

The collection comprises of 5 polishes, 4 colours and 1 that is a black shatter/crackle effect polish – much like the Barry M Instant Effects Polish that we’ve all been seeing (and possibly buying) lately. They’ll be priced at £9.95, available from OPI’s nationwide stockist www.lenawhite.co.uk and I really cannot wait to get these.

The colours included are as follows:


The One That Got Away

Not Like The Movies

Last Friday Night


Teenage Dream

Black Shatter


I’ll swatch some for you as soon as I get them, but until then I have found a video that shows the collection for you to whet your appetite.
